Abstract
The effect of food deprivation on the selective processing of food‐ and body‐size‐related information was investigated using a modified version of the Stroop task. Fasting subjects were slower than controls in color‐naming food‐related words but not body‐size‐related words. This interference effect was found for both males and females. The findings could not be explained in terms of other variables and appeared to be a reflection of current concern with food and eating produced by the food deprivation.
